Man wins lottery thrice in one day, bags over $5 million

A man from New Jersey, United States bagged over $5 million from his local lottery when he won it three times in just one day.

Retired union pile driver Robert Stewart told New Jersey lottery officials on Friday, Nov. 2 that he bought scratch-off tickets from his local retailer. He then scratched them all, one of them bearing the winning numbers that made him win $5 million (almost P264 million).

Stewart then had the store clerk to tell its owner that he won the prize, for which he was given a hug. Feeling his luck on a high, Stewart bought two more tickets, out of which he won $500 (almost P26,400) and $100 (almost P5,280).

Actually, this was not the first time that Stewart was hit with luck. He previously won $2,500 (almost P132,000), which he considers as his biggest win prior to his current winnings.

Stewart plans to save and invest his winnings to help his family in any way he can. JB
